Speaking to hacks today on the latest bells-and-whistles version of the iPlayer, Erik Huggers, the BBC's digital supremo, recalled how "all those years ago" he could "remember coming into the office and doing high fives and whooping when we had 20 downloads or 50 streams [of TV shows]". That would be all those years ago in the internet Jurassic period of 2007, of course. Still, he failed to illuminate the attendant media about what kind of dance moves he performs when he comes into the office to find out the iPlayer has delivered 123m streams in a month – Monkey would go behind a paywall to see that.
